Data Codebook for PetersEtAlIncidentHIVCalabarPublic.csv

produced November 4, 2009

This public release data file excludes variables (such as most demographics) 
that would increase the chances that the individuals involved could be 
identified.  The values for the test interval have been categorized into three
broad ranges also to preserve participants' anonymity.  Many of the 
associations adjusted for test interval that are reported in the article 
decrease slightly in strength when this categorized variable is used, but the 
overall pattern of results with this variable is very similar to those 
reported in the article.   
 
For more information on these variables, consult the following article:

infection in Calabar, Nigeria. International Journal of STD & AIDS 2009;20:846-851.
